A striking exploration of remembering, rebuilding, and reclaiming love—Millhouse’s voice becomes the one that refuses to be quiet ever again.
Raw. Tender. Unafraid.

Description
What happens when the memories you need to heal are the very ones your mind locked away to survive?
In Screaming at Empty Pages, Ame Millhouse unravels the hidden architecture of a childhood shaped by abuse, abandonment, and emotional erasure. Through a braided collection of personal stories, poems, and reflective vignettes, Millhouse chronicles the courageous journey of remembering what was forgotten—and confronting what was never safe to say out loud.
This genre-blending memoir explores the aftermath of early trauma with honesty: the doubt that follows a resurfaced memory, the fear of not being believed, while carrying the weight of unhealed wounds. As Millhouse revisits the fragments of her lost childhood, she also documents the adult quest to feel whole in a world that keeps asking survivors to stay silent. Her writing is both tender and searing, a testament to what grows from the ruins when a survivor finally claims her truth by screaming at empty pages…
More than a narrative of trauma, Screaming at Empty Pages is a love story and a book about reclamation. It illuminates the slow, nonlinear path toward healing—the setbacks, the breakthroughs, and the moments of grace that appear when least expected. Millhouse gives voice to the parts of the self that were dismissed, forgotten, or stolen, revealing a heart that refuses to stop searching for connection and belonging.
For readers of memoir, trauma literature, and poetry that cuts straight to the bone, this book offers deep resonance and rare courage. It is a companion for anyone navigating their own healing, a resource for therapists and advocates, and a compelling reminder that even the quietest stories can roar with power.
Raw, lyrical, and profoundly human, Screaming at Empty Pages stands as an anthem of survivorship—proof that writing can become both a reckoning and a doorway back to oneself.
